January Eighth: 1999Two events happened today. The first of which is the Scientists, who I had basically given their own lead came to me today and said that had made a break though in light focusing and manipulation. I of course asked them why they were talking gibberish to me. After a bit of staring the head scientist said, slowly, that they were working on laser beams.
Pew pews?
Yes. Pew pews.
Soon they will have a prototype laser pistol to test. Perhaps these weapons can defeat a alien? I am still worried about the killing power of rifles.
Anyway, the second and more important event was a alien space ship was detected flying over north Texas. I ordered Interceptor 1 to chase it down.
It was quickly caught and shot down over north Texas and the team was sent in the Sky Ranger to pick up the remains.
It was a rural ghost town, no more then a few shacks. Despite being abandoned it seemed... Peaceful. The tank rolled out, driven by the talented Mormota it's treads were the only sound as it took a point position for the rest of the team to follow.
Suddenly Leon shouted out, pointing to a upper window on the second floor of a building. A small gray face peeked out. The first alien seen in the flesh. By a reliable source that is. Although Leon and DinosaurusRex_x opened a volley into the second floor it appeared unhurt and was quickly lost to sight.
A small detachment was sent to sweep a building to the teams rear as the soldiers got ready to surround the house the alien was in. The tank rolled out though the middle of town, but was unable to find any other aliens.
Despite DinosaurusRex_x and Leon scanning though the windows, the alien was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly Sirus shouted out! He had spotted a alien trying to hide in a building to the rear. He took steady aim and shot at it. Hitting it squarely in the chest. But. It did not fall. All it did was look at Sirus and slowly raised a odd device. It took aim and as it was about to pull the trigger started coughing green blood, it's shot luckily went wide and sailed off into a field, only slightly singing Sirus as it went past. Luckily Sirus's backup arrived at that time and shot the alien full of holes. Killing it instantly.
Then, another shot. The alien from before had descended to the lower levels and had hit a solder by a window with a strange ball of green energy, instantly frying his insides, before anyone could react it ran back into the darkness of the house. One soldier ran to his fallen comrade to to see if he could save him and to look for the alien bastard that killed him. He failed on both counts. The man who he was suppose to be covering went further into the house, perhaps foolishly. The alien ran around a corner and shot him before he could react, slaying him instantly. But, the alien bastard missed DinosaurusRex_x who was covering the room from a window, he quickly opened fire on the alien, although he was not quick enough to save his comrade he did manage to lay low the alien scum.
After a little bit of cautious searching it was apparent that only two aliens had survived the crash. The first mission was a success! But the cost in life was great. Two were dead. The first victims of this silent war. They would not be the last.
For their bravery and leadership skills on the battle field I have promoted DinosaurusRex_x and Sirus to the rank of Sargent. May they lead us to victory.
Sign me up.
Sorry you were not in this one, or that your advice about the base was not taken. But I had already finished all the writing by the time you posted. I will get you in the next one update. Do you want the guy who killed the alien? Or some other random bloke?
